1.) Education: We work to uplift the Palestinian struggle as an important part of public discourse on campus by raising public consciousness.
2.) Resistance: Our advocacy engages the wider community, as well as policymakers and stakeholders, in laying bare and taking a stance against policies that encourage and facilitate Israeli apartheid. 3.) Liberation: Through these approaches, our overall aim is to promote grassroots activism to bring about justice and liberation for the Palestinian people. |
